Hi everyone,
I'm the new guy from KC. I've got a 2001 Chevy Silverado Z71 1500 with the 5.3L V8. I've been doing some upgrades, K&N cold air induction, synthetic oils, programmer, helix coil thottle body spacer, smaller side mirrors (I tow a little so I need both). Other than that nothing with aero yet. In winter my truck has been getting 15 MPG
but I've bested 18-19 on road trips. I've got a feeling the timing chain has been stretching so replacement is a must pretty soon and hopefully advancing the cam timing (not ingnition/spark timing, programmer took care of that).
Has anyone with a RWD vehicle converted their fan to electrical? What components did you use and how much CFM does it pull/push? How do you know how much cfm you need? Also, does any of you know how to do fiberglass work. I'm wanting to lighten up the front end and maybe add some aero dynamics by raising the hood with the fiber glass to cover the windshield wipers instead of deleting them. Kind of like on the Chrysler Cordoba did.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
